Description

The Life of the Ant by Maurice Maeterlinck Translated by Bernard Miall 1930 Why buy a modern reprint when you can buy a richly rebound original in half leather for almost the same price? Ex library copy in good condition. My stepmother trained in traditional bookbinding practices at the British Museum in London, and her life’s work has been finding interesting books and rebinding them, with remarkable results, as the photos of this wonderful volume attests. Her bookbinding skills are very evident in this richly bound book, which would take pride of place on any library shelf. The book is richly bound in half leather, with spectacular endpapers. Whether you are looking for a one of a kind gift for that special someone, or simply wanting something special for your own library, you will not be disappointed! Actual cover is green with tan leather spine and gold lettering. Condition - good. Sent with Australia Post Standard.
